SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 37seeaaatea January 3,1888.

Application filed June 30, 1887.

- SuitRecord, of which the following is a full,

7 clear, and exact description.

This invention relates to a novel form of record that is especially applicable for use in the retail clothing trade, the object of the invention being to provide a device by reference to which a salesman may determine at a glance just how many suits of any particular size there are in the stock, thus saving time in hunting up any particular size desired, and at the same time being able to determine at once as to whether any particular pattern of the size required is in stock.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this Specification, in which similar figures of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the views.

Figure 1 is a' face view of myimprored snitrecord, part of the cover being broken away.

Fig. 2 is a similar view, the cover, however,

being represented as it appears when moved to a position to disclose the slips. Fig. 3 is a view of one of the slips. Fig.4 is an edge View of the record, the'lower section thereof being shown in section; and Fig. 5 is a view illustrating the application of the record.

The record consists of a cover, 10, that is provided with a number of apertures, 11, that are numbered to correspond with the standard coat sizes, these apertures being arranged along the upper edges of the section of the cover. Along the edges of the lower section of the cover there are double rows of apertures, 12,

which are unnumbered. Inthe center of the upl per section I print the words Goat sizes, while in the center of the lower section I'print the words Pant sizes.

In connection with the cover 10, I employaback, 14, and between the back and the cover I arrange slips 15, the parts being connected by eyelets 16. The slips 15 are formed into as many detachable panels as there are'sets of apertures in the cover. The panels are defined and divided by perforated lines 2.

Serial No. 242,990. (No model.)

In using the record, the number of coats of any particular size are entered on the slips 15 by writing the number upon said slips, so that it will appear beneath the aperture 11 arranged in connectionwith the numeral indicating the size of the garment,while the size of the pants in the suit, as well as the number of pants in stock of that size, are written upon the slips'in register with the double lines of apertures 12, one line of said apertures being under theinitial W, while the other is under thelinitial L, the two initialsind-icatin'g waist and length.

The free ends of the cover, back, and slips are held together by clips 18, and the record as a whole is attached to one of the coat-buttons by a rubber band or loop, 19. When any particular size has been sold and the stock is consequently reduced, the slip beneath the ap erture arranged in the cover for said size is removed.

Having thus fully described my invention, Iclaim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- 1. The herein-described suit-record, consisting of an apertured plate or cover and-slips secured to the back of the plate or cover and provided with detachable panels, as set forth.

2. The hereiirdescribedsuit-record, consisting of a plate or cover provided in its upper part with a series of apertures numbered to correspond with the coat sizes, and in its lower part with double rows of apertures,a back,and slips secured between the plate or cover and back and having detachable panels, substantially as specified.

3. In asuit-record, the combination,with an apertured cover and a back, of slips provided with detachable panels and arranged between said apertured cover and the back, a connecting-eyelet, and a clip, all substantially as de scribed.
